Pic of the day – Raptor

I was waiting for the connecting bus, when across the street I noticed a lean dark shadow spiraling overhead. My pulse always quickens when I see a raptor overhead. I feel so lucky when I can get a photo. Last time I saw one in this area it was an American EAGLE, which blew me away. I don’t think that’s what this is, but I really don’t know what it might be. I’m estimating it had about a two foot wingspan, maybe two and a half, but I don’t really think so. Not a turkey vulture and not the right area for one. A little large for a kestral / windhover. Too small for an eagle, and the beak doesn’t hook enough. I’m not good at bird identification.
